Hey all,

Unfortunatly I am going to have to sell my R32 GTS4, things have changed and I am going to need something more practical, something I can park on the street... Anyways, the car has been my project for the last 8 months and has just gotten 6 months rego and has 130k on the clock - if it has been wound back I doubt it was by much. The engine has been replaced with a low k's import which has had all the gaskets replaced, new timing belt and water pump. Mods are limited to a heavy duty clutch, walbro fuel pump, RB25 turbo, and R34 intercooler - running 10psi atm and ready for more.

The body is pretty damn straight, a few blemishes I will get to later - but for now it has the factory type M body kit, and some rather unfortunate mirrors (easily replaced) stock wheels with new Federal tires (I have only done a few k's on them). To get it sorted for rego I have replaced a handful of ball joints and dropped in a hicas lock bar (everything removed and ps fluid routed thru the cooler) In the rear there is some coilovers (I will check the brand later) and stock in the front, the hks coilovers that were there are too stiff for my liking - but I did just spend $350 on new strut tops because the original ones with spherical bearings were worn out.

Interior is in good nic, the steering wheel, gear shift and h/brake boots dont have much wear, the carpets

(under the original mats) are the same, and the dashboard has none of the usual bubbles.

Now the bad, the coilpacks have just this week given up. I have pulled them out and sealed them up which has drastically improved things, but it still misses - I just cant afford to throw new spitfires at it, so it doesnt get driven. The car was left outside by its previous owner and the roof has bubbled a bit after a really hot day, just needs the roof to be resprayed. Oh, and it needs a wheel allignment - I will try and get this done soon however.

So spend about an extra $1k on it and it will be a really great car

I am chasing about $9,000 for it, negotiable for a quick easy sale. I would like to keep it and finish it off, but I have some pressing priorities like finding somewhere to live and buying a bed. The car will be garaged in Hobart till its sold, and has just had a service with platinum plugs, motul 4100 oil and filter.

I dont have a mobile phone at the moment, so best way to cantact me is via PM, and I will give you a call or whatever. Thanks for looking ;)

Pictures: It was a bit wet today, so I will get some more photos next weekend if I have some time

Swaps: I am keen to get a subaru liberty wagon (has to be manual) an old school one is fine, but I would probably want some dollars thrown in. Or mabey a forester if you are keen, but I dont have any money to send your way.

Thanks Josh, it is the car I have always wanted and it sux I have to sell it, but life is what happens when you make other plans eh'

Also I decided to bite the bullet and have ordered a set of coil packs for it - Looks like I will be sleeping on the old inflatable mattress for a bit longer :) ...but at least I can sell it running sweetly

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 2 weeks later...

Spoke too soon - The buyer has backed out last minute due to funding difficluties! So she goes back up for sale.

Currently running like a dream - everything is totally sorted and is a great drive :starwars: I am rather negotiable on price at the moment too becase I foolishly went and jumped the gun and put a deposit on another car. So give me a shout if you are interested on 0410 007 392, thanks guys!

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
